Hechos 1
1 EN el primer tratado, oh Teófilo, he hablado de todas las cosas que Jesus comenzó á hacer, y á enseñar,
The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Hasta el dia en que, habiendo dado mandamientos por el Espíritu Santo á los apóstoles que escogió, fué recibido arriba:
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 A los cuales, despues de haber padecido, se presentó vivo con muchas pruebas indubitables, apareciéndoles por cuarenta dias, y hablándo[les] del reino de Dios.
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
4 Y estando juntos, les mandó que no se fuesen de Jerusalem, sino que esperasen la promesa del Padre, que oisteis, [dijo, ] de mí.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Porque Juan á la verdad bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo no muchos dias despues de estos.
For John indeed baptised in water, but you will be baptised in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Entónces los que se habian juntado le preguntaron, diciendo: Señor, ¿restituirás el reino á Israel en este tiempo?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Y les dijo: No toca á vosotros saber los tiempos ó las sazones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad:
He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Mas recibiréis la virtud del Espíritu Santo que vendrá sobre vosotros, y me seréis testigos en Jerusalem, y en toda Judéa, y Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
9 Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, viéndolo ellos, fué alzado; y una nube le recibió, [y le quitó] de sus ojos.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Y estando con los ojos puestos en el cielo entretanto que él iba, hé aquí dos varones se pusieron junto á ellos en vestidos blancos;
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Los cuales tambien les dijeron: Varones Galiléos, ¿qué estais mirando al cielo? este mismo Jesus que ha sido tomado desde vosotros arriba en el cielo, así vendrá como le habeis visto ir al cielo.
who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
12 Entónces se volvieron á Jerusalem del monte que se llama del Olivar, el cual está cerca de Jerusalem camino de un Sábado.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Y entrados, subieron al aposento alto, donde moraban Pedro, y Jacobo y Juan, y Andrés, Felipe, y Tomás, Bartolomé, y Mateo, Jacobo [hijo] de Alféo, y Simon Zelotes, y Judas [hermano] de Jacobo.
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Todos estos perseveraban unánimes en oracion y ruego, con las mujeres, y con María la madre de Jesus, y con sus hermanos.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Y en aquellos dias Pedro, levantándose en medio de los hermanos, dijo (y era la compañía junta como de ciento y veinte en número):
In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred and twenty), and said,
16 Varones hermanos, convino que se cumpliese la escritura, la cual dijo ántes el Espíritu Santo por la boca de David, de Júdas, que fué guia de los que prendieron á Jesus.
“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 El cual era contado con nosotros, y tenia suerte en este ministerio.
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 Este pues adquirió un campo del salario de [su] iniquidad; y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Y fué notorio á todos los moradores de Jerusalem: de tal manera que aquel campo es llamado en su propia lengua, Acéldama, que es, Campo de sangre.
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
20 Porque está escrito en el libro de los Salmos: Sea hecha desierta su habitacion, y no haya quien more en ella: y tome otro su obispado.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesus entró y salió entre nosotros,
“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out amongst us,
22 Comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan, hasta el dia en que fué recibido arriba de [entre] nosotros, uno sea hecho testigo con nosotros de su resurreccion.
beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 Y señalaron á dos: á José, llamado Barsabás, que tenia por sobrenombre Justo, y á Matías.
They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
24 Y orando, dijeron. Tú, Señor, que conoces los corazones de todos, muestra cuál escoges de estos dos.
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 Para que tome el oficio de este ministerio, y del apostolado, del cual cayó Júdas por transgresion, para irse á su lugar.
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26 Y les echaron suertes, y cayó la suerte sobre Matías; y fué contado con los once apóstoles.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
